I think we can all say that these are very, very cool. The kamas look slightly rough, but perhaps its the lighting at work there; perhaps the picture is too over-exposed? Anyhoo, very good job. I've always seen sharpie as not as good as decals, unless the applier has a steady hand: but the detailing on these is great._________________ My Flickr

Sharpie skillz are definitely good. Just be careful with how much you use it. Too much Sharpie can cause unnecessary glare on the 'fig, and it can end up looking really ugly._________________Flickr <•> Big C's Blog

No way bucko, you're not getting off the hook that easily. Really the main thing you need to improve your pictures is a tripod. I've got one from a 99 cent store that I use almost as much as my $40 Gorrilapod. Even if you cant find one for cheap or don't want to buy one, you can improvise something. Heck, build one from LEGO. Anything. I can see from the properties on your flickr photos that you are using the macro mode, so the blur is due to your hands. The odd color on this and some others is from not using the white balance feature too... but the more recent shots of your troops is done right. Just blurry.

I have one of those. But I find simply that a steady hand and a blank sheet of folded cardboard work best. I just put my camera on the desk or ground. For steady shots, though, I agree with Don. Build a tripod out of LEGO - it works._________________ My Flickr

Also, the 2 second timer is fantastic, because it lets you click the shutter then let the camera settle before snapping away. Sometimes even with a tripod you get motion blur from the camera moving while you press the button.
